OK, I'll play along. Do you agree with all of the following?

1. Hulks should not be buffed in any way, shape or form.
2. Suicide ganking should not be nerfed again.
3. Wardecs, awoxing, can-flipping, and every other form of highsec PvP should not be nerfed again.
4. Highsec mining should not be buffed again.

If you disagree with any of the above, you are a carebear, and your whole post is moot because you suffer from the "one more nerf" syndrome which effectively means you do, in fact, want an invulnerable mining ship, etc.

If you agree with all of the above points, good for you. It's the carebears who give the other 0.0000001% of highsec miners a bad name.

Your just reiterating what I said, I agree, totally

No. It means everyone can do what they want, which will include things you do not want them to do (to you) and which will keep you from doing what you want. Or, to use my new favourite Malcanis quote: sandbox doesn't mean you can succeed at everything you attempt; it means you can attempt anything you want to succeed at.

You should probably note that the OP never even mentioned the wordGǪ

Upset about something posted on GD?

Looking for respect from strangers over the internet?

Wow, attention from *the* James 315 himself. :)

Hmm...unfortunately your questions are a bit more complex than a simple agree/disagree can cover, but I'll do my best to answer without being too wordy.

I agree to what you're saying, since the problems are more with the underlying mechanics of the game itself.

In point #1, I agree because it's not a matter of how 'buffed' Hulks are. The strength of a Hulk (or lack thereof) is not the problem. It has more to do with the underlying mechanics of mining, locations of asteroid belts, and so on.

As for point 2, I agree, as there's nothing really wrong with the suicide ganking mechanic as it stands.

For #3, that's way to complex a question to answer with an agree/disagree.

4. I guess it depends on what you define as a buff. Again this issue is much more complicated and subjective than an agree/disagree. Also, what I might call a change to make mining more interesting, you might interpret as a buff.

#1 I'm pretty sure James means simply buffing the yield:tank ratio. It certainly is what most carebear miners are whining about when they come with 300M ISK ship-arguments. Underlying mining-mechanics have little to do with this.

#2 As it stands? Funny thing about suicide-ganking is that it simply forces the players to adapt , which the smart ones always do, quickly establishing a new equilibrium. As such it's never truly unbalanced.

#3 No it's not. He's simply asking your opinion about non-consensual combat and shenanigans it high-sec.

#4 This is even simpler: mining is all about profit (with gankers being a calculated risk). Boosting high-sec mining is comparing this profit with low and null-sec (and WH for the truly desperate). The fact that there are almost no miners in low-sec should make this a no-brainer.

So the carebears spend years doing nothing but aimlessly piling up rocks and bleating out whiny, hypocritical nerf demands. Then, when people go to the effort of playing EVE with them by engaging in a little PvP, the carebears flood the forums with more tears and nerf demands (and occasional death threats).

And you lot wonder why we don't "respect" you?

1) I don't want your respect. You monkeyed texts that drove people who injured or killed others including my relatives.

Unless your relatives are highsec miners, I'd say you have been sitting out in the ice fields too long

How does one monkey texts by the way?
I must know!

Your texts are abominations, any barely decent forum would have seen you permabanned.

Miners mine so I dont have to!

Well, nobody ever accused EVE-O of being a "barely decent forum."

R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

Ill post with my main arswipe, 2003 char , OP is telling it like it is, you gtfo.

Sandbox means you can do whatever you want. Period.

1) I don't want your respect. You monkeyed texts that drove people who injured or killed others including my relatives.

2) I am not a miner but a trader and I have billions and even tens of billions invested at risk. Here are screenshots of my Trit "speculation" and a whole tutorial about how to swing trade in EvE.

3) Look it up on this thread where I posted the screenshots showing I have been in FW / low and 0.0 since when I had a rifter.

For some reason CCP deleted many posts off there including mine where I demonstrate I risk much more than you'll ever do. I trade securities in RL (the deleted posts had a screenshot of my today's trade) which is a profession where 90% of the partecipants lose a lot of money. So, redefine "risk averse".

I do agree I am douche averse.

So, you think earning respect from your enemies means you can demand respect from everyone else?

This coming from someone whose alliance sold the tournament last year?

Holy crap your ego is MASSIVE, it might be leaking a little bull-****. You should fix that.

I agree with OP. Miners mine so I dont have to!

tl;dr


They don't.
E: Apparently TL to bother even reading that phrase and saying "they aren't".
